This picture is fantastic (of course). The overall look of this photo is calm, mysterious, and inviting. I love the angle that you shot from. I feel like I'm apart of the photo instead of an outside viewer. The rays of light shining through the trees is stunning. It is what gives this photo such an inviting and calm presence. I love the slight fog in the photo gives the photo more depth. Overall I think maybe adding a touch more contrast to this photo could have improved the overall look. But other than that this truly is an awesome shot .

Anyway, camera is the Canon 5D MkII, though seriously - this set of photos can be more contributed to that specific morning than to the camera (a vast majority of my gallery was done with the old Canon 350D, aka Rebel)

Camera such as the 5D really shines in low light conditions, like shooting handheld in a room or on a concert, but for shots like this - almost any SLR will do.
